Very interesting... I always thought that Techcrunch would bring a ton of traffic, but I guess it's moreso their blog than their elevator pitch page. It was a nice pitch, nonetheless.
StumbleUpon, eh? Is this just organic traffic or have you done something to instigate it? And keep an open mind about having children with a website... some day it'll be possible.
- karjaluoto 18y agoActually, TechCrunch did feature it on their main page as well. It did bring traffic, but not so much that our servers were choking, as we had thought might happen. Thanks for the kind words about the pitch--it's hard trying to nail that kind of thing down. :-) We have stumbled a couple of our pages on our own and that has done a little, but we got a little carried away, and that seemed to reduce the significance of our stumbles for it. Now it's mostly users stumbling that has brought traffic. The weird part is that it's often just one page that brings a lot of people in. The downside with StumbleUpon is that it brings traffic, but little of it builds the userbase. It's a spike and that's generally it. Nevertheless, it does get the brand out there, which is helpful. And as for website children… we’ll just wait and see what comes of that. ;-)
